All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Cordy spoke with much irony, "Kyle Jessop is really good at claiming others' achievements." She had done so much for Jessop Corp, but all of it in the end was categorized as Kyle's work.She did not hold it against him because they were in a relationship, but now, she found that it really was not worth it. "How did you two end up breaking up? Don't tell me that fire burns away your feelings for each other…""He fell for my stepsister.""Noel Sachs?" Zoe smirked. "That two-faced bitch.""You can tell?" "Anyone with eyes can. Shame that four out of five men are blind."Cordy smiled—Zoey was certainly speaking sense, and she could not help feeling a little touched.This was only their second meeting, but there was this indescribable connection between them. Even Cordy herself had to admit that they really get along well together.Since she always kept to herself even as a child, she never had many friends. While she did have a couple of close friends, everyone avoided her e

Zoe then added, "Your bed smells really nice."Cordy smiled.After that, Zoe took a bath and put on a pair of Cordy's pajamas, walking around and surveying Cordy's home. "There's only one room...""You can still change your mind," Cordy said as she made coffee at the bar.As she usually slept very late, she did not feel drowsy since it was not midnight yet.And Zoe no longer felt sleepy after waking up either."Change my mind for what?" Zoe giggled. "It's no loss for me."Cordy suddenly stared at Zoe fixedly, and Zoe quickly came to her senses to explain, "Don't worry, I'm straight."Smiling, Cordy handed her the coffee she brewed. "I prefer my coffee black. There are sugar cubes over here if you don't like it bitter.""No, I usually take mine black too—especially when I'm tired."They both sat on the couch as Cordy turned on the TV. She happened to leave it on an entertainment channel, which was broadcasting a reality show with Zoe on it."You're really a fan of mine!" Zo

Mandy did not care who the director was, but she was more or less upset after Jay gave her the cold shoulder back at Alan Levine's birthday party. After a long while, Jay finally showed up on set, and the shoot began after a short exchange."Action!" Jay sat in front of the camera, but a frown soon appeared on his face."Cut!" He snapped.Suddenly told to stop, Mandy scowled immediately."What's wrong, Director?" the assistant director quickly asked."She's looking the wrong way, and her position is awkward. She carries no presence in the camera either, and her appearance as well as her costume won't do," Jay said. "The final outcome won't have any of its intended effect."Mandy scowled even harder at his words—no one had ever dared talk to her like that because of her family background!"Prop team, adjust her appearance. I don't want your run-of-the-mill web celebrity cheap aesthetic. As for the actors and actresses, study the script again to understand it further," Jay fin

Cordy felt this emotion inside that she could not quite describe, but she ignored it.Soon, they arrived at Chateau Emporio, but before she could speak, John told her, "Dicky's waiting for you inside."And with that, she stopped herself from saying what she would have, just as Winston arrived, greeting them respectfully, "Welcome home, Master John—and welcome, Ms. Levine."So aside from Richard, Winston was here too?!Did that mean John sent Winston away the last time she came over?"Mommy!"A little figure dashed out of the chateau and threw himself into Cordy's arms right then. "Mommy, I missed you so much… but Daddy wouldn't let me see you at the hospital!"It was obviously a complaint.Still, Cordy patiently dropped to a crouch before Richard, explaining, "He was hurt, so he had to stay at the hospital. He would've had to take care of you if you went, and he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.""That's a lie," Richard said sharply just then. "Daddy's just worried that I'd

Vince Cartman arrived with a document just then. "Ms. Sachs? The sales report for the first wave is here.""Show it to me," Cordy said calmly. Even as he passed it to her, Vince was reporting excitedly, "It's far beyond what we predicted—sales began at 10 am sharp today, and the more popular designs were sold out in seconds. Sales of the other designs also rose over thirty percent from our forecast, and counting. The numbers from physical stores are still pending, but the feedback nationwide is that they are selling like hotcakes, and they are too busy to count. Even the supplies are barely meeting the demand."Cordy could not resist smiling at that, even as Vince took out an iPad and tapped on the photo gallery. "Humphrey Wickers—our director of sales—has just arrived at the biggest mall in the city for an on-site survey, and here are the photos of our retail stores. Retail stores of other brands on the same floor are basically empty, though it's the same story for retail stores o
